Broke my nose a year after rhinoplasty. Is it crooked or just swelling?

Thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear about your accident.

It is good that the nasal bones do not have displacement. The cartilages however can also fracture and they will not show on a scan.

If you have already been examined and there is no septal haematoma, you will need to wait until the external swelling is decreasing to understand whether there is genuinely some change in the direction of the nose or not.

It is something that you should also discuss with your surgeon as every practitioner has their own preferred course of action for situation of this type.

If your fracture is truly non-displaced then the surgery is not indicated.

I’m guessing that the displacement was based on x-ray or CAT scan findings.
If you’re uncertain and you wanna get an assessment, then you should find a plastic surgeon to take a look at you sooner rather than later.
The time to set nasal fractures that do need reduction is within the first few days.
If you want a proper consultation, then you’ll need to schedule one.
